My guess is that the media is overplaying the kumbaya moments, but I only have experience and history supporting my guess that the media is a bunch of Libs.The local news here just ran a segment with clips from around the country showing protesters and police officers interacting peacefully. The clips all showed different things, but the common thread was a willingness of each side to listen to others. For example, some of the clips showed officers joining the protests, and others showed offers kneeling/saluting/clapping for the protesters. One showed a group of officers and protesters praying together.
What I don't know is what percentage of the protests have been peaceful and productive like the ones discussed above, and what percentage have turned violent. My guess is that the number of violent outbreaks has been tiny, and that the media is making it out to be much worse than it is.
I think large segments of the law-enforcement community agree that there are legitimate issues that need to be explored and discussed. Hopefully, we are able to reach solutions that don't cater to either end of the spectrum.
